I love this interview @jason did with @garyvee on the latest TWIST. It’s TOTALLY worth an hour of your time! Context, engagement and being a nice guy wins in the age of social media. Watch, listen and learn:
I went to a very interesting Yale lecture yesterday by Tony Hey from Microsoft Research talking about the revolution of research needing to deal with the overwhelming amount of data.
The 4 Research Paradigms Throughout History
1. Thousand years ago –
Experimental Science – Description of natural phenomena
2. Last few hundred years –
Theoretical Science – Newton’s Laws, Maxwell’s Equations
3. Last few decades –
Computational Science – Simulation of complex phenomena
4. Today –
Data-Intensive Science – Scientists overwhelmed with data sets require a new generation of scientific computing tools to manage, visualize and analyze the data flood.
The key is moving data to knowledge
DATA –> INFORMATION –> KNOWLEDGE
A few -interesting applications of this are:

George Bradt has a great article in Forbes with advice from the CEO Sam Martin of A&P Supermarkets.
Sam Martin says to turn a company around, do these 3 things:
1. Stay focused on the customer. Welcome them make them feel important & appreciated.
2. Build team on a bedrock of trust and focus at the task at hand.
3. Persevere. Reward small wins. Fail quick make sure mistakes are fast and little.

There is a really interesting analysis from O’reilly Radar on who the top #SXSW twitter champions have been over the past 3 years. I find this to be a very interesting case study of how to use the twitter stream for research and analysis. Take a look:
http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/03/sxsw-champion-2011.html
Their summary of what makes a champion is right on:
* retweet
* share messages
* respond in real-time
* provide useful information on topics that are interesting to their followers
Good advice for anyone trying to build a brand on twitter!
I just pledged support to this amazing project to preserve, doument and write the history of these fantastic photos from Iraq.
I had an inspiring conversation with Christopher Brownfield who is working to get this project off the ground.
He said he needs as many people as possible to pledge at least $1 to show their support of his project.
